 ```markdown
 Visit as at {{<extlink text="Instagram" href="https://www.instagram.com/yourInstagramName/">}}

+Referencing and showing icons in front of the link text is possible with a new parameter `icon`:

 ### Customizing CSS
 Add a `custom_head.html`-file to your `layouts/partials`-directory. In there you may add a `<style>`-tag _or_ you may add a `<link>`-tag referencing your own `custom.css` (in case you prefer to have a separate `.css`-file). Checkout the [`custom_head.html`](https://github.com/zjedi/hugo-scroll/blob/master/exampleSite/layouts/partials/custom_head.html)-file from the `exampleSite`-directory to get started and to find more detailed instructions.
